Chapter 571 Marotta

There were thousands of people in Yingcheng and thousands of people in Yingye.

It was obviously impossible for a total of 600,000 troops to silently pass through Yan Zhou and arrive at Heng Imperial City.

According to the information sent back by the scouts ahead, it would take Cui Ting's 600 thousand troops at least half a month to arrive at the Horizontal Imperial City. It was precisely because of this that three days later, when the densely packed Chu Xuan Flag appeared outside the Horizontal Imperial City, the majestic ancient city was filled with fear and uproar.

The commander of the Sacred Sun Army, marotta king of fifty years old, was ordered to take more than a hundred thousand Sacred Sun Army defenses at the head of the horizontal imperial city.

As the only two highness of the Grand Xia, marotta's life is called legendary.

Thirty years ago, Li Wenjing defeated Big Yellow City and was bedridden.

Li Yulin became the final winner, ascended the throne of the emperor, seven fellow brothers, six were beheaded by him outside the Great Yang Palace, only marotta this eldest son was left behind by him, not only did not cut off the military power, but will be the most elite Great Xia Saint Yang army into his hands.

As for the other prince, he was an old acquaintance of Xu Han, the only Li Moding who had not participated in seizing the first wife.



As the current pavilion master of the Sword Handling Pavilion, Xu Han naturally had the qualifications to lead many swordsmen to the city wall to see the specific situation. He was also fortunate enough to meet the legendary Li Clan Prince Marotta!

It has to be said that marotta is indeed a very unique person.

Amongst the soldiers covered in blood-colored armor, the Li Clan's prince wore his name and a white Confucian robe. He stood on the city wall, not fitting in with the solemn atmosphere of the battlefield.

Xu Han has the heart to look at each other, marotta temples with white frost, hair is combed clean and tidy, with a wooden hairpin, flat lips and nose, the corner of the eye has some wrinkles, the whole person looks more like invading in the four books and five classics of the old Confucian scholar, rather than that can march to war fierce general on the battlefield.

Xu Han is not the only person to come to the city, the civil and military officials of the Great Xia court, even that Li Moding also came, but to this marotta are very calm, did not pay attention to the eyes of the people for a moment. He frowned and looked at the dark army outside the city without saying a word.

Although the civil and military officials at the city gate had the intention to say something, they seemed to be extremely afraid of this Li Clan's prince. No one dared to speak at that time to break the silence on this scene.

"General, the scouts have reported that there are less than 50,000 rebels outside the city. It seems that they are just an advance expedition." At this time a soldier suddenly walked to the side of marotta, knelt down on one knee, mouth such as is said.

These words, marotta has not responded, the civil and military officials on the city head is a change in expression, seems to have some intention.

"Oh." Compared to their reaction, marotta's response is much more indifferent, he just lightly nodded his head, then said: "pass down, garrison ministries to strengthen the defensive facilities, can't privately fight, disobedient slash!"

Hearing this, the soldier naturally did not suspect him and left.

However, the surrounding people were confused, but they didn't dare to say anything else. In the end, it was Li Moding who gritted his teeth and took a step forward to ask, "Royal Brother, the rebel army is rushing over from thousands of kilometers away. They are exhausted and have yet to gather the momentum. They should lead the troops to fight, defeat their sharpness, and display our Sacred Might. Why did Royal Brother dodge instead of fighting?"

This question also seems to be present in the heart of the doubt, they have at this time look to marotta, waiting for his answer.

"I've heard that Royal Brother has always made friends with many sects in Jianghu and has raised 3,000 soldiers. Since Royal Brother is so worried about national affairs, why don't I open the city gate now and let Royal Brother lead his troops to fight the rebels to the death? How about using my Sacred Might?"

Hearing this, Li Moding 's expression froze and his expression darkened.

The surrounding people could even smell the awkward atmosphere at this moment. Even if there was a question similar to Li Moding 's in their hearts, they could only suppress it at this moment.

Xu Han narrowed his eyes and looked at the scene before him. He then turned his head to look at the dense black armor outside the city. He smiled faintly and unexpectedly turned around and left at that time.

Seeing this, Nangong Jing, who had come with him, frowned. He seemed to be a little unhappy, but he was unwilling to attack in front of others. At that time, the swordsman under him followed Xu Han's footsteps.



"Why are you leaving?" After returning to the Yan Manor, Nangong Jing frowned and asked Xu Han.

Xu Han leisurely sat on his seat and took a sip of the brewed tea. Then, he blinked his eyes and asked, "Why don't you leave? Will Prince Li pack us lunch?"

Nangong Jing's expression naturally turned extremely ugly when he said those words. However, the swordsmen led by Nangong Zhuo couldn't help but feel that it was funny. However, due to Nangong Jing's "obscene might", they didn't dare to make a sound. They curled their mouths and suppressed their laughter. Their appearances were extremely interesting.

"The rise and fall of the world is our responsibility! The rebel army is facing the city gate. We should cooperate with the Sacred Sun Army to defend the city gate. How can there be soldiers bathed in blood and fighting outside, yet we can sit here and sip tea!"

"Since Lord Nangong has such a generous mind, you really are a woman who won't let her brows go. If you don't want to, then you can do it yourself." Xu Han did not seem to recognize the anger wrapped in Nangong Jing's tone. He took another sip of tea and said with a smile.

"You!" Nangong Jing could no longer contain the anger in her heart. She coldly snorted and turned her head to look at the swordsmen beside her. "If you want to stay with a coward, then stay. If it's a man, then come with me!"

After saying that, Nangong Jing strode out of Yan Manor.

The swordsmen led by Nangong Zhuo looked at each other for a long time. Finally, they gave Xu Han an apologetic gaze and left with Nangong Jing.

After Xu Han cleaned up the Sword Handling Pavilion, although the overall strength of the remaining Sword Handlers had dropped by more than a notch compared to before, the remaining Sword Handlers were almost all trusted aides of Xiao Ran. After Xiao Ran left, these trusted aides naturally became Nangong Jing's trusted aides. Between Xu Han and Nangong Jing, they naturally chose the latter.

Xu Han wasn't surprised at all.

He still squinted his eyes and sat there, watching the swordsmen leave.

Until the swordsmen completely disappeared from Xu Han's sight, Ye Hongjian, who had been standing at the side watching all of this, suddenly stepped forward, walked to Xu Han's side, and asked softly, "Is this really good?"

Xu Han stood up and said with a faint smile, "This is the best way."

Ye Hongjian frowned, for Xu Han's action somewhat puzzled: "You are feeling horizontal imperial city in marotta's hands, really can rest easy

"Is that so?"

Xu Han shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "If we rely solely on Cui Ting, the Crossing Imperial City will naturally be fine, but the Dark Asura Palace behind him … no one dares to underestimate …"

'"Then" Ye Hongjian was even more puzzled. There was a saying that there was a complete egg under this nest. Since she had decided to stay in Horizontal Imperial City, she should go forward and retreat together with it. It was not something that Ye Hongjian liked to stand idly by, nor should it be something that Xu Han, whom she knew, did.

Seemingly seeing Ye Hongjian's doubts, Xu Han smiled faintly. He stood up and walked gently to the entrance of the mansion. Then, he looked up at the horizon in the direction of the city gate and said, "This place is even more dangerous than that place. Why should they stay?"
